By Max Rieper @maxrieper on Jul 30, 2016, 4:11p The Royals have acquired outfielder Billy Burns from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for outfielder Brett Eibner. Burns is a switch-hitting speedster who had a terrific season in 2015, hitting .294/.334/.392 with 26 steals in his rookie season, but has struggled this year hitting .234/.270/.303 in 292 plate appearances. Out of all players with at least 250 plate appearances this year, he has the sixth-worst OPS in baseball. The 26-year old Burns is a solid, but not spectacular defender in centerfield. He has pretty much no power and hardly ever walks but does not strike out much either. He is a better hitter against lefties than righties, but doesn’t have a huge split. With speedsters like Paulo Orlando and Jarrod Dyson already in the fold, Burns seems like redundant piece, but perhaps the Royals have another move to make. The 27-year old Brett Eibner was hitting .231/.286/.423 in 85 plate appearances before being demoted yesterday. He was in a slump, but has shown some pop and plate discipline in the minor leagues ever since he was a second-round pick by the Royals in 2010 out of Arkansas. Burns will be assigned to AAA Omaha. This is his last option year. He will not be eligible for arbitration until after the 2017 season, and has at least four years until free agency. Brett Eibner OF <------> Billy Burns OF 拿到去年比現不錯的Burns...又一個腿哥 Burns雖然守中外野不是金手套等級..但至少很穩定感謝愛能這季的表現....但我們外野角落的球員太多了...換個能守中外野的 Eibner：I can't thank the @kcroyals enough for growing me as a player but more importantly as a person. I loved my time with this organization and I'll never forget the city and the fans that were so supportive. Always #foreverroyal Now I'm looking forward to this next chapter with the @athletics and the journey ahead being #greencollar -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 180.176.175.11 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Royals/M.1469929699.A.C45.html
